How amazing are these macrame Hammocks from etsy store Hamanica? I just love the top one (which I had posted before but not known the source). They are hand woven, made from natural cotton and come in a variety of shades and patterns, you can even get little ones for babies!!!

With the sun finally coming out to play I am pretty darn tempted... especially as they are for some reason so cheap?!?

I have just started a new job on a really really busy ward. After 5 months of looking after lovely old ladies who were waiting to be discharged home, looking after detoxing alcoholics with serious liver problems is to say the least a challenge. I can see I am going to love this speciality, but 4 days in I am craving a lazy chilled out sping morning, in my p.j's listening to music, with some tea and toast and the smell of nag champra wafting around my house.

When I was younger my friend Charlotte's parents house had a kitchen extension that was kind of like the first picture. I was so in love with the light airy-ness(?) of that room and have always thought that eventually this is what I would like to aim for in my own home. So now we may potentially be buying our rented house off the landlord maybe just maybe I can get my dream.

I have just stumbled upon the blog of Justina Blakeney and I am so hooked (with a bit of blog envy thrown in). The images above are from one of her friends Beech home which I have fallen in love with. I love the mismatched rugs and clashing prints.

Just a reminder the give away ends tomorrow at midnight (GMT London)... Just a mention again for those of you that are anon, please please leave your email address as if chosen as a winner your entry will be disqualified without as everyone could say they were that anon xxx

I have just got back from a few days in Snowdonia and lying on my bed with my book (PopCo by Scarlett Thomas) and cup of tea have looked up above my bed at my Spell Dream catcher and been inspired to make this post. I love that bottom orange one, I am sure that is just a pretty place mat but it looks so pretty.

I love the eclectic shabby-ness of these living / sitting rooms, perfect for lounging around with a good book.

I am a real hoarder. As long as I remember my parents have been big collectors, getting obsessed with a particular type of pottery or glassware and searching antiques shops for that next exiting find (I used to love going to weekend antique fairs, my sister and I would look at the pretty vintage jewellery pretending which pieces we were going to buy).

Unlike my parents I never buy anything of worth or value, but I am such a magpie for anything un-British looking. My dream home is a dusty, eclectic treasure chest of rare findings from all over the world that I would have found in an Indiana Jones/ Victorian explorer type way :)

** most of the pictures I have used have been from pintrest and tumblr, sadly many have no credit. I am slowly working my way through my past posts trying to add sources. If you recognise a picture please please drop me an email, or leave a comment in that post. Cheers Gabi xxx
